Geography
Our Vision for Geography:
At Totley All Saints CE Primary School, our Geography curriculum, aims to inspire every pupil to explore and understand the world with curiosity, respect, and a sense of responsibility. We strive to provide a knowledge-rich, coherent, and ambitious Geography education that nurtures pupils to achieve their unique potential and become courageous advocates for our planet.
Our Geography curriculum is designed to:
- Equip pupils with deep, cumulative knowledge of physical and human geography, enabling them to make sense of local, national, and global environments.
- Foster generative learning strategies that enhance pupils’ knowledge retention and understanding, helping them to know more and remember more about the world around them.
- Develop essential geographical skills such as enquiry, spatial reasoning, data collection, and problem-solving, preparing pupils to think critically and act wisely in addressing real-world challenges.
- Embed an understanding of climate change, sustainability, and environmental stewardship, reflecting our Christian commitment to justice, compassion, and care for creation.
- Provide meaningful opportunities for fieldwork and first-hand geographical experiences, encouraging active engagement and a love of learning.
- Support all pupils, including those with SEND, through inclusive teaching practises and tailored resources, ensuring excellence for every child.
- Inspire pupils to live out our values of compassion, justice, forgiveness, selflessness, and generosity by understanding diverse communities and the interconnectedness of our world.
Through our Geography curriculum, we commit to nurturing pupils who are knowledgeable, confident, and motivated to make a positive difference in their communities and the wider world.
